The instructions states that the heating pad should stay on no longer than 20 minutes to prevent burns. |

my chiropractor told me to alternate heat and ice every 15 to 20 min, and to only do that for 2 hrs then take 2 hrs off and then back on again |

Really just depends on you.Give it 15 minutes.Then put it back on your back for another 15 minutes.Dont matter about how long you put it,do it when you need it. |

Depends on urself. 15 - 30 minutes ideally. But if you have time and it is relieving your pain, maybe more. |

Don't use heat if your mucsle is sore and inflammed heat will make it worse try a cold pack. |

You should keep it on for no longer than 30 minutes to prevent burns.Also it may help to get warm water in the pad so it doesn't burn.Not hot but warm. |

Rotate on and off at 20 min intervals so the muscle can relax and tighten. |

no more than 30 minutes. You should alternate between the hot and cold packs. |

As long as it takes.
I suffer(ed) from a sore back for several years from picking up my kids all the time. Two things my husband bought me just this past year as fixed the problem completely...without the need for a chiropracter.
1. One of those Shiatzu massage seats. Wow do those things work. I've only had to use it twice since I got it, it works so well.
2. A foam mattress topper. We have a 3 inch thick one, only cost about $100 and it was totally worth it. I was against buying it at first because I didn't think 3 in. would do much good, but it's the most comfortable sleep I've ever had in my life. I never wake up with a sore back anymore either.
Sorry, I know that was a bunch of added info, but thought it might help....good luck, hope your back feels better! |
